Validity of equations for estimating fat-free mass in people living with the human immunodeficiency virus.

Background & Aims: Equations estimating fat-free mass (FFM) in people living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) show differences in the validation process. The current study aimed to verify the validity of FFM estimation equations derived from bioelectrical impedance (BIA) in people living with HIV aged 40 years and older.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 68 participants evaluated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and by two BIA devices (Analyzer and Biodynamics).

Effects of lipodystrophy and physical exercise on bioimpedance parameters in people living with HIV: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of lipodystrophy and physical exercise on the parameters of bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) and bioimpedance vector analysis (BIVA) of people living with HIV (PLWHIV).

Methods: Seventy patients were divided into two groups: PLWHIV with lipodystrophy (PLWHIV-L) and PLWHIV without lipodystrophy (PLWHIV-NL). The phase angle (PhA) and the BIVA were determined from the values of resistance and reactance collected by the BIS.

The effectiveness of high-intensity interval training on body composition of rodent models of obesity: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The present systematic review was compiled to analyze the effectiveness of High-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols on the body composition of rodents with obesity. Databases were searched until February 2021 for experimental trials in rodents with a minimum duration of four weeks of HIIT and endpoints associated with obesity. The data were analyzed by meta-analysis performed for comparisons of body composition.

Combined Exercise Modulates Cortisol, Testosterone, and Immunoglobulin A Levels in Individuals Living With HIV/AIDS.

Background: Combined exercise (CE) has been recommended for individuals living with HIV/AIDS (ILWHA) under antiretroviral therapy. However, depending on the intensity and duration, physical exercise may occasionally increase inflammatory parameters and reduce immunological responses that if not reversed, cause health injury specifically in this population. Information about immunological and hormonal responses after CE in ILWHA has not been completely elucidated.

Effect of combined training on body composition and metabolic variables in people living with HIV: A randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to conduct a randomized clinical trial to assess the effects of 16 weeks of combined training on body composition, lipid profile, adiponectin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and leptin levels in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).

Methods: Fifty-eight HIV-infected individuals were randomized into a training group (T) or a control group (C). Combined training consisted of aerobic and resistance exercises performed at the same training session, applied at a frequency of three times a week for a total of 16 weeks.

Peak Velocity as an Alternative Method for Training Prescription in Mice.

To compare the efficiency of an aerobic physical training program prescribed according to either velocity associated with maximum oxygen uptake (vVO) or peak running speed obtained during an incremental treadmill test (V) in mice. Twenty male Swiss mice, 60 days old, were randomly divided into two groups with 10 animals each: 1. group trained by vVO (GVO), 2.

Aerobic exercise training performed by parents reduces mice offspring adiposity.

The present study aimed to determine the effects of physical training performed by parents on mice offspring adiposity. Male and female parents underwent an aerobic training protocol for 7 weeks. The trained and sedentary parents were allowed to mate and the resultant offspring divided in: S (Offspring from Sedentary Parents), T (Offspring from Trained Parents), ST (Offspring from Sedentary Father and Trained Mother) and TS (Offspring from Trained Father and Sedentary Mother).

Exercise improves cytokine profile in HIV-infected people: A randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: Verify the effects of concurrent training on cytokines in people living with HIV under antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment.

Methods: This was a blinded, parallel-group, clinical trial, where 49 participants, divided in two groups, either control group or concurrent training group, took part in the intervention. The control group performed recreational activities and concurrent training group participated of 16-week, 3 times per week of heart rate guided-aerobic plus resistance training for major muscular groups.

Effects of physical training for people with HIV-associated lipodystrophy syndrome: a systematic review.

Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus-associated lipodystrophy syndrome (HALS) is a major problem among people living with HIV/aids. The exercise training has been used for its treatment; however, the knowledge about benefits and safety still is emerging. The aim was systematically review the literature for physiological, metabolic, immunologic, and morphologic adaptations to aerobic, resistance, and concurrent training in people living with HALS.

Effects of 16 Weeks of Concurrent Training on Resting Heart Rate Variability and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in People Living With HIV/AIDS Using Antiretroviral Therapy: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Pedro, RE, Guariglia, DA, Okuno, NM, Deminice, R, Peres, SB, and Moraes, SMF. Effects of 16 weeks of concurrent training on resting heart rate variability and cardiorespiratory fitness in people living with HIV/AIDS using antiretroviral therapy: a randomized clinical trial. J Strength Cond Res 30(12): 3494-3502, 2016-The study evaluated the effects of concurrent training on resting heart rate variability (HRVrest) and cardiorespiratory fitness in people living with HIV/AIDS undergoing antiretroviral therapy (ART).

Evaluation of the Omron MX3 Plus monitor for blood pressure measurement in adolescents.

This study analyzed the accuracy/agreement of the Omron MX3 monitor on 165 adolescents. Blood pressure was measured by the automatic monitor connected in Y with the mercury column (three consecutive and simultaneous measures). The independent measures were analyzed, and the mean differences between systolic and diastolic measures for both methods were calculated and compared with British Hypertension Society (BHS) and Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) criteria.
